HC Bozen invites the KAC to a duel against the record champions

The second treat within three days awaits the HCB fans: Today (start at 19.45 p.m.) Bozen wants to take revenge for the penalty defeat against Linz and bring Klagenfurt to its knees in the duel between the record champions. The traditional club from Wörthersee also had to admit defeat to the Vienna Capitals in a penalty shootout on Sunday. Against the 30-time Austrian champions, it's not just about a lot of prestige, but also about defending the top of the table. The aim is to further expand the ten points gained from the last six championship games and at the same time keep the competition in check.

Zisser: “We can take on any opponent” “We have another very difficult task ahead of us,” said HCB striker Stefan Zisser, who is still struggling with the defeat against Linz: “It is bitter to lose in the penalty shootout after such a strong performance. We should learn lessons from this and try to further reduce our susceptibility to errors. But the Linz game showed once again that we can take on any opponent. Also with the KAC. Pure commitment and error-free defensive behavior will continue to be the key to success today.”

Klagenfurt is currently only in ninth place in the table with 17 points, but the “Rotjackets” have the second best penalty killing in the league (85,71%). The champions' top scorer is the former Bolzano player Colton Fretter with six goals, while Thomas Koch leads the team's internal scorer ranking with 13 points (4 goals, 9 assists). The KAC team also includes numerous NHL-proven cracks such as Thomas Pöck, Andreas Nödl and the recovered Jamie Lundmark.

Bolzano can rely on Marco Insam again, who will be in the game today. Kim Strömberg, on the other hand, has to continue passing. In the only duel between the two teams so far, Klagenfurt won 3-2 in the penalty shootout.
